Piers Morgan mocks Mikel Arteta's choice in attack against Liverpool by claiming Kai Havertz 'couldn't lead a Morris dance' in damming post on social media

Piers Morgan has mocked Mikel Arteta's decision to start Kai Havertz up front for Arsenal's huge clash with Liverpool at The Emirates.

The Gunners boss was forced into the change after he revealed that Gabriel Jesus was not fit enough to make the squad for Sunday's game.

The Brazilian suffered a knock in training linked to his previous knee issue and led Arteta into a rethink over who to pick in attack for the clash title Arsenal's title rivals.

Instead of swapping like-for-like and picking Eddie Nketiah in place of the Arsenal number nine, the Spanish boss plumped for Havertz as the focal point of the team's attack.
